tales of an ordinary girl

It's been a while since I've written a personal post. That used to be all I used to write about. Those of you that have been reading my blog for a while have seen some changes and I hope that it's made coming here more interesting.

Not a whole lot has been going on in my life really. I started a new job right near the end of the year and it's going pretty well. They prohibit blogging about work, so I've steered clear of talking about it at all. But as in any job, it has its ups and downs, good days, bad days, rash of politics, and good people.

Matt was out of town for a couple of weeks on business recently. We're an odd couple because we pretty much spend all of our free time together. I don't get tired of seeing him. He says he doesn't get tired of seeing me. :)

We don't really have hobbies apart, except for my reading, the fact that we play different video games, and my occasional tries at being crafty (as in making stuff with crafts), or gardening.

Anyway, I filled the time with reading and catching up on shows like Planet Earth. I amazingly finished one book this month, though I'm getting close to finishing 2-3 more. I realized why I enjoy fiction more than non-fiction -- a story can be so much more absorbing.

My parents are going to be in town in a couple of weeks. It's a visit I'm both looking forward to and dreading. The last time they visited it didn't go so well. I miss them, but planning anything is just about impossible. This time I guess I'll just go with the flow. That's the idea anyway.

Our house is still for sale and we still haven't had an offer. It's only been a little over a month, so I suppose it's not that bad. I'd just love to get it sold and move on.

It's still Spring and the weather has been nice. I've been outdoors a lot. When Summer comes I'll be back in hibernation mode. I hate the heat more than the cold, even though I find it hard to believe in the middle of Winter.

But mostly things are just good. I'm content. How about you?
